Story News:

Last Thursday I sent The Trouble with Love to my editor. Yay! I expect it returned in 2 weeks or so and then I’ll begin the fun of incorporating her changes and suggestions for improving the story. I actually do enjoy edits so I’m looking forward to that. I also finalized the book cover design for the book too, but I’m just waiting for my editor to weigh in on the blurb before sharing with everyone and updating everything.

A New Office:

While I was putting the final touches on The Trouble with Love my darling beloved completed a new office space for us. Isn’t my side awesome! My hubby is amazing.

I’d had a room to myself, unused spare room at the back of the house, for a number of years but we decided it was time to set up a shared workspace as he’s become more involved with the business side of my publishing efforts. The little room was just a bit too cozy for two and we were tripping over each other to get anything done.

I’ve settled into the new space pretty smoothly and quickly this past week which makes me really happy. I’m also in the heart of the house now and all I need to do is relearn how to: focus despite the activity around me, ignore the often stunning lake view outside, and stay out of the kitchen during office hours. Except for making coffee. Coffee fuels my writing days.

There is just a few days to go before The Trouble with Love must be sent to my editor. I’ll be spending this week listening to it on my shiny new red wireless headphones. I have loved writing this story, this couple made me laugh so often, and am eagerly looking forward to polishing my manuscript up for publication when it comes back. Just in case you missed it, The Trouble with Love can be pre-ordered now. I’ll be sharing the cover and blurb around the middle of September. Links on the book page.

Something new: Hot Winter Nights Collection

I was very honored to be invited to include a story in the Hot Winter Nights Racy Regency romance collection by author Nina Mason. My story, The Duke and I, is a humorous sexy romp. My hero, Nicolas, is mature aged single father with a daughter on the cusp of her first season. He’s a bit onerous about that event and about losing a woman who has become his confidant and companion too.

Engaging the Enemy is FREE!

You’ll find Engaging the Enemy, book 1 of the Wild Randalls series marked down to free right now at most retailers. Amazon hasn’t price matched as yet, but I expect them to do so soon. Hope you’ll check it out and grab a copy. Leopold Randall has come home to England to find his family and face the demons of his past. The question is, however, if he’s fully prepared to engage the enemy, the Duchess of Romsey, when she’s intimately tangled in his past.
